-- Using a RedHat 6.2 CD
-
- Downloading a RedHat 6.2 CD image and burning a CD

-RedHat 6.2 CD source tree. You need to burn a boot floppy disk with a network boot image;
-
-bootnet-20000407.img. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk; and type a
-command similar to: dd if=bootnet-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0). For installation, you
-need to specify http://www.lon-capa.org as your download URL, and /install/3.1/currentcdsource
-as the source location.

+
- (Depending on whether your computer has a bootable CD-ROM, you may

+boot-20000407.img. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk; and type this command: dd if=boot-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0).
- - Install RedHat 6.2
+
- Install with CD-ROM
-- Important: Do a "GNOME Workstation Install" and go with their default list of packages
-
- Important: Make sure you add a user "www"
-

-
-http://www.lon-capa.org/install/3.1/SupplementalRPMS.
-
-- Use this command to install the RPMs you download: rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm.
-
- - Remove extra RPMs by downloading and running the script
-
-http://www.lon-capa.org/install/3.1/scripts/remove_extra.sh as root.
-
- Configure needed files.
-
-- Currently, reconfiguration must be handled manually and involves an administrator
-altering configuration files present throughout the system. For a list of these
-files and their descriptions, visit
-http://www.lon-capa.org/install/3.1/loncapafiles.html.
-
- Important files are /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf, /etc/ntp.conf, /etc/krb.conf,
-/home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab, /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab (if setting up a cluster different
-than MSU's)
-
- Run AS USER=www (NEVER EVER EVER EVER AS USER=root) /home/httpd/perl/loncron &.
-
- After 10 minutes, you should be able to check the file /home/httpd/html/lon-status/index.html
-to see if your machine has been successfully set up.
+
- Follow the
+CD-ROM installation instructions
+ - After installation, restart the computer. Login as root. Enter this command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
+
+- sh /usr/sbin/loncapa_configure
-
-Future Installation Procedure (not yet implemented)
-
-In the future, LON-CAPA Installation will be distributed on a CD complete with a
-customized interface. Many elements for doing this have been coded, and are in place, but
-it awaits completion.
-
+
+
+
+You can also try to install LON-CAPA on an existing installation of
+RedHat 6.2. Please see how_to_install_loncapa_on_a_preinstalled_system.txt.
